Ducks' Ellis continues rehabilitation process

ANAHEIM -- Ducks goalie Dan Ellis has been sidelined for a month becasuse of a torn groin muscle and it appears that he is just starting to begin the process toward returning to the ice.

Ellis has battled a tender groin this season but he tore the muscle during a practice session on Jan. 7 as he had to be helped off the ice by his teammates. The veteran netminder has been working out and rehabbing regularly, though he wasn't at Honda Center on Sunday.

"He says he's hoping to skate in sweats this week," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "And then hopefully by the end of the week, at least do some stretching on the ice."
